Fender Jazz Bass USA 1981

 

 

Terrific '81/'78 ash/maple Jazz Bass. This one was originally sunburst but has been stripped down to natural, which looks just great.

 

The serial number is an s8... Which runs from 1978 until the early '80s. The neck seems to have been dated 1978, but the stamp is a bit blurry. The pots and pickups are dated 1981. The body has the beautiful rounded curves that returned under Dan Smith in the early '80s.

This is hands down the best playing and sounding ash/maple jazz I've laid my hands on. It has the pleasant deep and clear tone you want from such a bass. 

 

All hardware and electronics work like they should. The neck is straight and adjustable. The bass has some usermarks, but nothing special. She looks great. Another great feature is that she only weighs 4,3 kg. Which is not much for a ash bodied jazz from this era.

 

The pickup covers and original hardcase are included in the sale. It has been set up with new elixir strings. 

 

Asking €2.500

 

I am located in the Netherlands, but I am happy to ship at buyers risk.

Partial trades are negotiable. I am mainly interested in a Ampeg V4(b) or good solid state head (think Gallien-Krueger RB 700/800 or 300w Trace. No class d stuff). Might consider basses too; mustang, music man sabre..

Great looking bass! Hope it sounds the same as it looks.

Free bump!

 

waiting for some price negotiations readiness ;D

I've owned and played quite a few ash/maple jazzes, and this one is certainly the best sounding of them. That deep clarity and glassy highs.... I think Marcus wouldn't mind playing it.

 

Due to the relatively friendly weight for such a bass, it's comfortable to play too.
